Abstract
Summary: a brief statement of the content of the report
In 2009 production of office furniture in South Africa accounted for US$ 215
million. Although affected by the global downturn last year, the country is
likely to show a surprising recovery during the middle quarters of 2010. The
increasing trends in consumers demand, the ongoing relevant public sector
spending and the 2010 FIFA World Cup will contribute to South African robust
acceleration.
